We are proud to provide cars for the 2016 Memorial Day Parade and hope that you will join us in celebrating the memory of our nation’s heroes. The parade begins at 10 am at Main Street and Osprey Avenue and will end at Five Points Park. The parade procession will consist of Veterans organizations, law enforcement, first responders, ROTC units, and students from Sarasota Military Academy. There will be a ceremony at Hamel Park following the parade. We can’t thank our veterans enough for all they have done for our country.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) set an automotive industry wide target for all auto manufacturers to include Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) as standard equipment by 2022. Lexus has decided to offer the Lexus Safety System +™ standard on nearly all its models by the end of 2017, four years ahead of the requirement. The Lexus Safety System +™ was originally designed to help address three driver assistance areas: preventing or mitigating frontal collisions – including pedestrians; helping keep drivers within their lane; and enhancing road safety during nighttime driving.

Right now, model-specific target dates for offering these packages as standard equipment will be announced closer to the deadline. The Lexus GX will not offer the system as standard by the end of 2017. The Lexus Safety System +™ is composed of four key components: PCS (Pre-Collision System), LDA (Lane Departure Alert), AHB (Automatic High Beam), and the DRCC (Dynamic Radar Cruise Control). The PCS uses millimeter-wave radar and a camera to detect pedestrians and under certain conditions, vehicles. The system works by activating an audio and visual alert as well as brake assist which is automated should the driver not brake quickly enough. The LDA uses a camera to detect the white and yellow lane markings and alerts the driver of departure with an audio-visual alert and steering wheel vibration. The Automatic High Beam system aids drivers in nighttime driving without blinding other drivers. The DRCC helps drivers by automatically adjusting cruise control when other vehicles are detected at a certain distance.
